define esterification and williamson synthesis
Answers
Answer:
The Williamson ether synthesis is an SN2 reaction in which an alkoxide ion is a nucleophile that displaces a halide ion from an alkyl halide to give an ether. The reaction occurs with inversion of configuration at chiral centers and can be limited by possible competing elimination reactions.
Explanation:
Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two reactants (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. Esters are common in organic chemistry and biological materials, and often have a pleasant characteristic, fruity odor.
Answer:
RCOOH + ROH → RCOOR ( in the presence of conc.H2SO4 which acts as dehydrating agent ). This reaction is called esterification.
RX + RONa → ROR + NaX
This reaction is called Williamson synthesis
